Thought of the Day – 4/27/22

I am willing to have a discussion with anyone. I wish to be thoughtful, to be open to changing my mind if presented with a reasonable argument. But those on the neo-progressive left are not interested in such things. I saw this meme float across my timeline recently. I care more for liberty than I […]

Thought of the Day – 4/18/22

I believe we are getting to the point where conservatives realize that nothing they will do will ever be enough for the other side. Like a disapproving parent, no matter of apology, contriteness, or compromise will satisfy their desire for dominance. Conservatives have been asked to shut up, step back, back down, move aside, and […]

Thought of the Day – 4/15/22

I’ll keep it short today. I’ve seen for a long time that social media is toxic. My fiancé and I had a chance to talk about it today. Social media is a game now, with cheat codes and everything. We have come to understand the rules, and the goals, and in all honesty it’s not […]

Thought of the Day – 4/1/22

I absolutely hate absolutes. I’m trying to stay positive about things, but the more I see things devolving into two tribal factions, the more I see absolutes filtering into our dialogue and the less room I find for valuable discussion and time taken for people of differing opinions to have substantive and profound conversations. My […]

Thought of the Day – 3/3/22

I like to describe myself as a “giver.” In relationships, and in life generally, what brings me joy and happiness is seeing my partner happy, or that others are happy. At it’s best, I am rewarded with words of affirmation, and the knowledge that I am making a difference, however small, in the world. My […]

Necessary Costs and the Value of Human Wellbeing…

Featured image from the San Diego Union Tribune. I don’t know what the article is about because it is hidden behind the pay wall, but feel free to check it out if you are so inclined. The environmentalists won when Biden was elected, and now we are seeing the fallout from those early administration policy […]

The Cult will come for you…

Featured image by Eddie Adams of the AP. Jack Dorsey is out at Twitter, and it seems like we’ll look back fondly at the time when only some people were censored by the machines and algorithms. The new CEO, Parag Agrawal, is a true believer in the progressive agenda, and it seems that he will […]

Liberty Vs. Libertine

We are dying as a nation. Our values have been left unwatched and unguarded, like a house long abandoned. We barely see the foundations, it is full of cracks and breaks, of mold, mildew, and mice. The exterior is dilapidated and the interior is dust ridden. And yet we live in this squalor, refusing to […]

Why Progressives Must attack Parody…

Featured image from the Office of Congressman Paul Gosar. Let me start by linking to the original post from Rep Paul Gosar, Republican from Arizona’s 4th district. I was laughing hysterically for a bit at the parody, and the subsequent meltdown from the left. It really seems to be true that the left can’t meme, […]

Ideological dysentery

Featured image from PosterFoundry.com. Follow the link for more fun posters. Something has gone terribly wrong in our country. The values we had aspired to of rugged individualism, community, family, morality, ethics, all of them have been replaced or bastardized, corrupted and morphed into viler and more wretched versions of themselves. And there is no […]
